Business description

Criterion : 8.4

Test : 8.4.1

Test description :

Test8.4.1: For each Web page with a default human language, does the language code pass the conditions below?

Level : Bronze

Technical description

Scope : page

Decision level : semidecidable

Algorithm

Selection

Selection

Set 1 :

The <html> tag with a lang or xml:lang attribute.

Set 2 :

The textual tags (tags with a title attribute, an alt attribute or some content) without lang or xml:lang attribute. These attributes can be set to the current tag or to one of its ascendants.

Set 3 :

All the textual elements of the page which are not overidden by a lang attribute.

Set 3 :

All the textual elements of the page which are overidden by a lang attribute.

Process

Test 1:

We extract the language code from the lang or the xml:lang attributes from elements of Set 2. If these attributes are both set and different, we keep the xml:lang attribute if the doctype of the page is found within the "XhtmlDoctypeDeclarations" whitelist, and we keep the lang attribute instead.

For each extracted lang attribute, we check its validity regarding the "ValidLanguageCode" whitelist

MessageA : Wrong Language Declaration
Test 2:

We extract the language code from the lang or the xml:lang attributes from elements of Set 2. If these attributes are both set and different, we keep the xml:lang attribute if the doctype of the page is found within the "XhtmlDoctypeDeclarations" whitelist, and we keep the lang attribute instead

For each extracted lang attribute, we check its validity regarding the "ValidLanguageCode" whitelist

MessageA : Wrong Language Declaration
Test 3:

We detect the language of the textual elements of the page which are not overidden by a lang attribute (Set 3).

IF the detected language corresponds to the specified language AND the detection is seen as unreliable (regarding the google AJAX API detection described in the page http://code.google.com/intl/fr/apis/language/translate/v1/using_rest_langdetect.html#json_response

THEN raise Message A and return NMI

ELSE IF the detected language doesn't corresponds to the specified language AND the detection is seen as reliable

THEN raise Message B and return FAILED

ELSE IF the detected language doesn't corresponds to the specified language AND the detection is seen as unreliable

THEN raise Message C and return NMI

ELSE return PASSED

Test 4:

We detect the language of the textual elements of the page which are overidden by a lang attribute (Set 4).

IF the detected language corresponds to the specified language AND the detection is seen as unreliable (regarding the google AJAX API detection described in the page http://code.google.com/intl/fr/apis/language/translate/v1/using_rest_langdetect.html#json_response

THEN raise Message A and return NMI

ELSE IF the detected language doesn't corresponds to the specified language AND the detection is seen as reliable

THEN raise Message B and return FAILED

ELSE IF the detected language doesn't corresponds to the specified language AND the detection is seen as unreliable

THEN raise Message C and return NMI

ELSE return PASSED

MessageA : Suspected Relevant Language Declaration
MessageB : Unrelevant Language Declaration
MessageC : Suspected Unrelevant Language Declaration

Test1 OR Test2 OR Test3 OR test4 returns FAILED

Passed

Test1 AND Test2 return true AND Test3 AND Test4 return PASSED

Pre-qualified

Test3 OR test4 returns NMI
